Their rankings are
- Python
- Java
- C
- C++
- JavaScript
- R
- Arduino
- Go
They let you re-rank them by re-weighting the sources that they use, so I did:
- Google (search):
50 50 (a reasonable indicator of widespread interest) - Google (trends):
50 0 (redundant and probably doctored) - GitHub (active):
50 75 (assuming it means projects that aren't write-only) - GitHub (created):
30 0 (assuming it includes write-only projects) - Stack Overflow:
30 75 (has language lawyers who answer serious questions) - Reddit:
20 5 (mostly write-only blogs) - Hacker News:
20 0 (who cares) - Career Builder:
5 0 (never heard of it) - Twatter:
50 0 (what idiot included this?) - IEEE Explore:
100 10 (doesn't really reflect industrial practice) - IEEE Jobs:
50 10 (too much academia)
This yields the following:
- Python
- Java
- C++
- JavaScript
- C (drops to #8 if IEEE stuff is weighted 0 to exclude engineers who happen to write code)
- C# (might be #1 if CodeProject was included: came in at #23 on their list )
- PHP
- HTML (not a language, ffs)
I still can't believe #1 and #2.

There are metric boatloads o' Java programs out there. I know I've managed to avoid them for the most part. Anything IBM consulting (and probably EDS and the other big shops) touches is likely to end up Java. Python is the one that freaks me out. I know it's getting huge in big data, but yeah. I don't see it as #1 out there.
If I had to guess at the list, I'd probably think:
- Java
- JavaScript
- C
- SQL
- C++
- PHP
- C#
With Python/VB/Ruby/COBOL in some order after that.

Much better than their list.
I don't doubt that Java is popular, it's just that it gives me gas.

The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) has taken the first ever image of a young, Sun-like star accompanied by two giant exoplanets. Can you see Bob waving in the photo?

Awesome!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Perfect!
Now we just need to zoom in on the planet like they do in the movies!

Slack alleges that Microsoft abused its market dominance to eliminate competition for its Teams work communication product by tying it to its popular Office productivity suite. I'm surprised it's taken this long. Slackers.

A little baffling since Team can be downloaded for free as a standalone product. So, do you get Office for free if you buy Team or Team for free if you buy Office?

When a Microsoft MVP took to Twitter to snort at American cheese, one famous cheese brand got very upset. And cutting. Sorry, I'm feeling cheesy today
Besides, they can't all be late-breaking icon news items.

Microsoft's cloud-based Universal Print service will major on enterprise printing features and cover printers old and new. I hope I don't have to go to the cloud to replace the toner cartridge

Four new technologies—low-band 5G; Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite Internet; DOCSIS 3.1, and G.fast—will soon provide faster speeds than ever before. "You made me promises promises you knew you'd never keep"

Sounds great except for the fact that if you live somewhere where you don't have Internet, you probably live somewhere where you can't afford Internet. Not to mention having bigger daily life concerns than even having Internet.
I am, however, constantly amazed at pictures of poverty stricken communities and everyone has a cell phone and satellite dishes are commonly seen. Seems to me to be an odd choice of priorities.

As part of the July update, Microsoft Edge for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS is getting a slew of improvements, including Collections support on mobile. Posting here as many will not experience the new features first hand
Was that worded too awkwardly?
|
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Edge edge cases expanded everywhere. Don't be an Edge case!
|
|
|
|
|

Most features should be very close to done at this point. Is that a light at the end of the tunnel, or just a train approaching?

Microsoft President Brad Smith recently spoke to a US House antitrust committee where he called out Apple’s App Store. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
Sorry to go all, "New Testament" on you, but I really couldn't think of a more appropriate quote.

Microsoft is teasing the future of its Office UI and design today, and it involves some big changes to the traditional ribbon interface. Sadly, not "removal" of the ribbon interface
"The next wave of Microsoft 365 UX changes will go even further by fading brand colors from app headers and exploring adaptive commanding". Irk
"...progressive disclosure to contextually reveal commands" OK, my gag reflex is really about to go off. Where's @DanNeely with his handy vomit icons?
